Voyageur (voya-e-zher): a French word meaning "traveler." Legend says that when these French fur trappers first looked down from the Blue Mountains upon the fair fertile valley, they exclaimed: "Voila, Voila!" (Behold, Behold!) and thus the name became fixed. Walla Walla was born.
Coureur des Bois (ku-rer-da-bwa): A Canadian French term meaning “woods runner.” These independent traders lived and traded with native people without the official permission from the French government of New France. This unique red wine blend, much like the renegade Coureur des Bois, tests the boundaries.

We were lucky enough to source from some of the most sought-after Syrah grapes in the Walla Walla Valley: Les Collines, Stone Valley and Yellow Jacket Vineyards.
This wine is sourced from one of the oldest vineyards in the Rocks District. The Stone Valley Vineyard was planted in 1999 with Cabernet Sauvignon and with Syrah in 2000.
